1 post | 1 read
When Liling moves from her home in the mountains of China to the big city, her parents cannot afford to send her to school, and she spends her days with her mother, wishing she had a friend--until she sees a girl in a yellow coat, who lives in the next building, comes from a different mountain, and is happy to be Liling's friend.

Fascinating aspect of Chinese culture/policy that I didn't know. Youngsters might only understand it on a surface level. Older kids will want to know more about this system that prevents freedom of advancement. You might compare the Chinese system to free systems that seemingly have the same consequences. The pronunciation guide is at the start. The paragraph at the back explains the hukou system in brief terms students can understand.
